finally took the reel mower around back and gave it a quick mow, up until now i have only been using it on the front yard. Sprayed with certainty 3 days ago, I love that stuff..all the nutsedge is bright yellow and dying already, i have some celsius on the way which i am going to mix with certainty for another application in a few weeks.

Mowed and fertilized with some Milo yesterday. Just bought a new home in GA and trying to get the lawn in order. Also, went to SiteOne today to get some Dimension and Celsius. The guy there tells me that I should go with some Lesco Lockup 21-0-7. He was talking about how good it is, and how it would be better for my newish bermuda lawn. For info, It was sodded last fall im pretty sure. I told him I would think on it and wanted to see what yalls opinion is
I just put some lock up down and I can say this, it works! It's great for a budget and all in one. That being said consider doing a soil test and supplementing the potash and phosphorus with what the soil test calls for I work in Augusta and live across the river.
Awesome, thanks! I actually just dropped a bag of soil off at the Columbia County extension so Ill wait on the results from that to see what I need to get.

I did it! Scalped the front lawn down to 0.51...never ever thought this would happen 😳 I will post more details about the experience in my journal later tonight...



It will only be a matter of time before you look down on us with rotary mowers. I just hope you remember when we were jealous of your lawn. Soon you'll have pictures of your granddaughters using the reel mower saying even they are embarrassed to be seen using a rotary mower. In all seriousness I can't wait to see your yard mowed reel low. It's gonna be amazing.

Now that's funny...I promise to only walk around with my nose in the air when working on the front lawn and return to being a mere mortal when working on the back lawn :) As for these two awesome little girls they will become very proficient in the use of rotary!! I truly appreciate your kind words @TN Hawkeye...

This is what .75 looks like for the first time ever...







Think Im going to .50... :eek:
That's the spirit, go all in, it will recover and look fantastic.
+1. Get er down to .5, hit with some N, maintain at .75 and you're in bidness 😎
Thanks @reidgarner and I did get it down to .50 but it was painful and lots of bagging! We are forecasted to have rain nonstop starting at about 4am so that's good. I was going to treat the few leftover weeds with a light dose of Celsius and toss down some GrubX...would this be a bad idea since the lawn is stressed at this point? Should I just go with Fertilizer for now and give the lawn a couple of weeks??

GrubX would be fine. I'd wait on the Celsius but if you've already done it no big deal.
